For the food portion of my Christmas breakfast posts, I thought I’d share what is on the menu for the Christmas morning. I try to have a variety of items + flavors {sweet/savory, light/filling, hot/cold} and because everyone has different tastes + some dietary restrictions, having a good amount of options is always the way to go so everyone leaves …
Christmas Breakfast Tabletop: Modern Meets Traditional Whimsy
Christmas morning has become a lot more interesting + fun since having kids. There is more excitement, more chaos + definitely a lot more joy + love! I also really love staying in PJs for as long as possible + having a big breakfast with family. Growing up, my dad always made Christmas morning breakfast complete with eggs, pancakes, bacon …
Last Minute Thanksgiving Day Essentials…That Aren’t Food
Thanksgiving is almost here. Turkey? Check. Stuffing? Check. Cranberries? Rolls? Stretchy pants? Check, check check! Make sure you have these other non-food essentials {other than the stretchy pants} ready for turkey day.
Friday Five: Grilled Cheese, Please!
It’s no secret that I love everything about fall…minus allergy + cold season starting up again. And even though there are days I dread dinner, for some reason the cooler weather (still waiting for that here in NJ by the way) makes it a bit more bearable for cooking. This doesn’t mean I like to stand over a hot stove …
Friday FOUR: Festive 4th
This week will be a Friday FOUR lineup instead of FIVE because…well, it’s the Fourth of July weekend! The Fourth of July is one of my favorite holidays for getting together with family. My parents’ house has always been the place to gather after a long day on the beach: we all go back covered in sand, salt and sunblock, …
What to Wear: Spring + Summer Weddings, Part 3
Hi! Here is the third-and maybe final-installment of what to wear to Spring + Summer weddings, Black Tie Affair edition. Most of my years working in the event industry have been spent on black tie or black tie optional weddings and for some reason I feel like these are the easiest to dress for. There’s practically no worry of being …
What to Wear: Spring + Summer Wedding Guest Styles- Part 2
Spring + Summer are prime time for outdoor weddings; whether it be at a lakeside property, a mountain lodge or the ever popular vineyard, outdoor weddings create a beautiful backdrop for vows + a party. Not to mention that it also helps save a ton on decor! Since the category of “outdoor” weddings is pretty broad, I tried to choose …
What to Wear: Spring + Summer Wedding Guest Styles-Part 1
I’m going to start off by saying I had grand plans for this post: three different dress styles (short, midi, + long) for three different wedding settings. That being said, I still do but they will be posted in three separate posts…it was a lot to try and put together with this crazy week! And as you will see, I …
Friday Five: Warm Weather Cocktails
Now that red wine weather is beginning to come to end I’m so excited to start whipping up some cocktails that incorporate more seasonal fresh fruit and herbs but also have a little kick to them. Don’t get me wrong, I L.O.V.E a cool glass of Sauvignon Blanc or Rose and that is my go-to for nice evenings out on …
Patio Perfection
Our outside living area has admittedly been neglected for the past several years. Actually, nothing has really been updated since we moved in. Well, all that is about to change this year because I am on a mission to update our entire outdoor living area…but on a budget. Enter Target. Is it just me or do their products get better …
